We had a great time at Casa Anjali. The house was amazing, had lots of room for a multi generational family vacation. Everyone had own bedroom. The pool was great after a day at the beach or a hike. My only recommendation is that the owners should get a John Deere "gator"type vehicle as the driveway is steep and rather slippery when it rains, and we did not have a 4x4.
